Thermal Diffusivity and Thermal Conductivity (LFA)

Heat transfer is a critical factor in material design and product reliability. Two essential properties define how materials behave under thermal stress:

Thermal Conductivity (λ):
The ability of a material to conduct heat, expressed in W/m·K. High conductivity materials like metals dissipate heat efficiently, while low conductivity materials such as ceramics act as insulators.

Thermal Diffusivity (α):
Indicates how quickly heat spreads through a material when its temperature changes.

Together, these properties determine heat flow and temperature response—critical for applications in electronics, aerospace, energy systems, and high-temperature processes.

We provide advanced solutions for accurate thermal property characterization:
1. Netzsch – Precision for solid materials across a wide temperature range
2. Nanotest – Innovation for thermal interface materials and liquids

Both brands deliver cutting-edge thermal analysis technology to meet your research and industrial needs.
